Salmon Ocean Ecology Research at Auke Bay Laboratories
This presentation will highlight the current salmon ocean ecology research activities that Auke Bay Laboratories scientists are participating in within the Gulf of Alaska eastern Bering Sea. These highlights include: connecting early marine ecology of pink salmon in southeastern Alaska to future forecasts of adult returns; understanding how varying ocean conditions during summer in the eastern Gulf of Alaska may impact survival of Columbia River Chinook; connecting climate variability in the eastern Bering Sea to juvenile Bristol Bay growth and overwinter survival; linking ocean conditions in the northern Bering Sea to Yukon River Chinook salmon distribution and growth as well as juvenile Chinook salmon abundance to future returns to the Yukon River; connecting ‘real time’ climate data and ocean conditions to run timing of adult Yukon River Chinook salmon.

This Friday, June 27th from 3:30 -5:00 PM, a special symposium will take place in FISH 102, as graduate students from SAFS, QERM, and SMEA present preliminary results from the first ever annual SAFS Research Derby! Come support our talented students as they present the results from 48 hours of intensive research developing novel approaches to important marine science questions! The four teams will each have 20 minutes to present their approach and answer questions.
